CHAIN BRAKE

The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kickback. The chain brake activates manu- ally if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front han- dle as far as possible.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during first 30 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.

WARNING: Muffler is very hot dur- ing and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.

PP4620AVHD specifications

The Poulan PP4620AVHD is a robust chainsaw engineered for homeowners and occasional users seeking a blend of performance, efficiency, and ease of use. This model is particularly well-suited for tackling medium to heavy-duty cutting tasks, such as tree trimming, firewood cutting, and storm cleanup.

One of the standout features of the PP4620AVHD is its powerful 46cc, 2-cycle engine. This engine delivers a strong performance and ensures efficient cutting through a variety of materials. With a top speed of approximately 9,000 RPM, users can expect swift cuts, making short work of logs and branches.

The ease of starting is a crucial aspect of the PP4620AVHD. It incorporates an advanced starting system with a spring-assist mechanism, reducing the effort needed to start the chainsaw. This feature is particularly appreciated during cold starts, allowing the user to spend less time struggling and more time cutting.

The chainsaw is equipped with an 18-inch bar and chain which strikes a balance between maneuverability and cutting capacity. This size is ideal for tackling larger logs while still being manageable for less experienced users. The chain is designed for quick and easy adjustments, ensuring that the user can maintain optimal tension without the need for additional tools.

Safety is a priority in any power tool, and the PP4620AVHD includes multiple safety features. It has a front hand guard to protect the user's hands from flying debris, and a chain brake that engages automatically during kickback situations. These features help ensure a safer cutting experience.

An additional characteristic of the PP4620AVHD is its AV technology (Anti-Vibration). This reduces vibrations felt by the user, which is crucial for extended use, minimizing fatigue and promoting comfort during operation.

For maintenance, the chainsaw has an easy-access air filter and fuel cap, allowing for straightforward cleaning and refueling. Regular maintenance is vital to prolong the life of any chainsaw, and Poulan's design supports user-friendliness in this regard.

The Poulan PP4620AVHD stands out as a capable and versatile chainsaw, perfect for those who need reliable performance without the complexity of professional-grade equipment. It combines power, safety, and comfort, making it a smart choice for both novice and seasoned users looking for an effective cutting tool.
